Chelsea Kaplan’s Musings About Life... After Birth
Posted by Chelsea on September 26, 2007
According to Reality Blurred, Bravo has started production on a new reality docudrama called “Manhattan Moms”, which follows an eclectic group of Gotham socialites and their families. In a press release, Bravos Frances Berwick says the following: Well watch as they juggle calendars packed with charity fund-raising galas and the social whirl of the Hamptons, with interviews for elite private schools and high-powered careers.
Manhattan moms, (and moms to be) who read this blog, is this what your “reality” consists of?

My Current Obsessions
The Kiefer Cottage
Meet the Kiefers: a quirky, lovable family of five on a quest to transform their 1940s Kansas City bungalow into the house of their dreams. The budget is small, the dreams are big, the creativity is inspiring. Check them out - you can thank us later. Happy reading, everybody!
Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner
I don't understand gals who claim to loooove cleaning. That said, I do get a certain joy from using Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day® All Purpose Cleaner to care for my home. You can't lose with this stuff...it is hard-working & earth-friendly, and will leave your abode smelling like a day spa instead of a chemical spill. Try Lemon Verbena in the kitchen and Basil in the bathroom. At only $7.99 a bottle, you can afford to pick up both!
True Blood
Um, does this even need a caption? Doubtful, but let me just say that this is the hottest hour on television. Vampires are seriously sexy (especially Eric), and on this show you get to see a lot of them--if you get what I mean. Put the kids to bed and flip the channel to HBO on Sundays at 9 p.m. to taste the fun that is True Blood.
Valentino Bow Thong Sandals
So comfy and feminine, I know I'd wear them all summer. But dang, that much money for jellies? Possibly worth the splurge. $275, nordstrom.com
New Balance Kids’ Sneakers in wide sizes
My boys have wide feet, which means finding cute shoes for them is tough. These, however, rock. Prices vary, visit nbwebexpress.com to purchase.
Zoya “Laurie” Nail Polish
This sheer pink polish is, without question, the PERFECT nude pink. Plus, the polish is free of formaldehyde, toluene, camphor and dibutyl phthalate (read: yucky crap that isn't really safe for prego gals). $6, enailsupply.com.

I don’t have kids yet, but I see my friends here in the city who do and for many it really is constant juggling between social events/travel between multiple residences/private school jockeying for later in life. I think for a small segment of Manhattanites this is absolutely their reality. It all seems a bit too overwhelming and fast-paced for me, so I’m heading to the suburbs.
I am sooooooooo glad I live in BFE (the sticks).......
Nothing beats the sound of pure nature in the morning!<BR><BR>Although my little schedule keeps me busy, I could never survive the city. Props to all you city folk who do it everyday.
Not at all. Try “barely fitting into a 1 bedroom apartment and desperately looking to move to the suburbs”!
My life isn’t like this at all. Actually, it’s pretty typical and probably a lot like what moms across the country do. Preschool, work, gymboree, dinner, bed - and then the same thing all over again the next day!
just so you know, the name is real housewives of NYC. I’m preety sure that’s what you’re talking about because its going to be on Bravo. Look out for it, i know i am!
Ain’t you kidding right?
